SPEAKER cARLIsLE's CASE.
He Tells Why he Took no Testimony In
the Contest of ThOebe.

He Tells Why he Took no Testimony In
the Contest of Thoebe.
WASHINGTON, September 9.-Mr. Carlisle,
in explaining his position in the Thoebe
contest, said last night: 81 don't want to
try the case in the n ewspapers. or 70 talk
about 1t for publication, but there is such
q singular Misrepresentation IN regard to it
that 1t is not improper, ! suppose, for me
to say that took no testimony for the
simple reason that it was not necessary for
me 10 do so. The contestant in his notice
charged fraud and irregularities in almost
every precinct in the district, but when he
came 70 his evidence he did not even at
tempt TO prove anything except that there
were four illegal votes cast for me at one
precinct in Covington, and do not think
the evidence is sufficient to show that
these four votes were actually cast for me.
But assuming that they were, it makes no
difference in the result, as my majority
was SIS. OF course there was no reason
why / should take the stimony.
THE charges that intend to rely upon
some legal technicality and that will ask
an extension of time to take testimony are
preposterous. The law allowed me all the
time necessary IL / had desired to avail my
self of IL. Certainly would not accept a
seat In the House il my right to il could be
sustained only By relying upon techni-
cality, and so far from relying upon any
such ground / do not even intend TO en-
ploy an attorney or submit any argument
to the committee OF the House, Member
can take the record Just as my opponents
have made il up and upon that they can

business methods into his prison life, and
where he formerly went for the dollars and
let the pennies take care of themselves, he
now goes for the pennies utterly regardless
of the dollars. Ward does not use tobacco
but gets his allowance the same as other
prisoners and can do what ne likes with it.
"And what do you suppose he does2" in
ouired the keeper of the Albany visitor.
Don't know" "Well, he will sell it to
those who run short, for ten cents, But If
while negotiating the sale. another man
comes along and offers him eleven cents,
the eleven-cent man will get the tobacco"
Ward is now in the printing Office, print
ing the tags used on goods shipped from
the prison. The Doodle Aldermen all
looked well and contented.

A DRUGGISTS EXPERIENCES.

The Queer Orders He Receives, and the
Cranks He Has to Deal With.
While waiting for horse-car the other
night, reporter for the New York Mail
and Express dropped into drug store not
far away. Presently little fellow came
in with note which he gave to the clerk,
wro laughed, did up a small box of each
Gus, put cline in the till and then passed
the note over to his customer. 1t read:
"Send me something to take tobacco out
of my mouth"
"That note" said the clerk, els from a
printer, and is q fair sample of many queer
orders we receive. | don't suppose there
is any business in which a man is asked for
more peculiar things than in the drug bus
ness. But we generally guess pretty
nearly what is wanted, and really get
along very we'll"
"If that note had come to me-" said the
reporter, 81 should have sent the fellow q
corkscIew."
'No doubt; but you are not q druggist.
What would you send in receipt of this
order2" and he handed down from a file q
note that read:
"I want some of that smellin' stuff what
goes through your BRAIN"
81 give it up"
81 knew at once what was wanted-it
was ammonia. The note read describes the
effect Of inhaling 1t very well. get note
once in a while though that bothers me.
Here is one of them
"Piease send me enough stuff to throw
up girl years DID,"
THE man wanted an emetic. The dose
was for girl years old. Another note
that bothered me was this one:''
II want something for caustic."
II was wrapping up some nitrate OF
silver when all at once it struck me that
the order was for u purgatlve, and 1 asked
the boy who brought the note what allied
his father. Cramps, he replied, and then
l was sure caustic should have read costive.
A postoffice employe sent over here one
day last winter saying:
1.-THE old woman has got bad cough and
she can't cough; send me something for it, -
Another sent word that his wife aud
two little girls were down with tbs chills
and fever, and he wanted the very best
thing I had that would kill them. OF
&C Grse he meant the chills."
"a lady sent only to-day for a plaster to
take the stitches out of her back. Orders
for the essence you put people to sleep
with when you cut off their legs call for
chloroform or ether. Something for q
woman whose appetite is loose on her,
means she wants tonic, Gs she is losing
her appetite. Then there are orders for
something for a sore baby's eyes, a baby
top for nursing, and the like. The great.
est, however, of these peculiar orders, is
the call for something which forgot the
meme OF, but it's a sure cure for dyspepsia,
or any other common ailment.' To such
always send our own preparation"

LEES FATAL ERROR.

General Longstreet i'm a Recent Interview
Oriticizes Lee at Gettysburg.
On the evening of the first days fight
ing, when the COnfederates occupied
Seminary Ridge and the Federals concen-
trated upon Cemetery Hill, Lee and Long
street were upon the ridge, and after study
ing the situation LoDgstreet said TO Lee:
''If we could have chosen point to
meet our plans of operation do not think
we could have found better one than
that upon which they are now concentrat-
ing. Ali we have 10 do is to throw our
army around by their left and we shall in-
terpose between the Federal army and
Washington. We can get strong position
and wait, and if they fail to attack US we
shall have everything in con-
dition TO move back to-
morrow night in the direction OF
Washington, selecting beforehand good
troops to receive battle next day. Finding
our object is Washington or that army,
the Federals will be sure to attack US.
When they attack we shall beat them, as
we proposed to do before we left Fred
ericksburg. and the probabilities are that
the fruits of our success will be great"
mo-" said Gen. Lse, "the enemy is
there and am going to attack him there"
Longstreet says: 81 suggested that such

Baltimore, and reminded Gen. Lee OF our
original plans. If we had fallen behind
Meade and insisted on staying between
him and Washington, ne would have been
compelled to attack and would have been
badly beaten. Gen. Lee answered, No;
they are there in position, and am going
to whip them.' / saw he was in no frame
of mind to listen to further argument at
that time, so ! did not push the matter,
but determined to renew the subject the
next morning."
He did renew the subject on the morning
of the ID, but Lee would not consider the
proposition to move .to Meade's left and
rear. On the morning of the Sd Lee came
to him to renew the attack on Cemetery
Hill. Once more, the third time, Long
street argued the movement to Meade's
left. He says: 81 stated to Gen. Lee that
had been examining the ground over to
the right, and was much inclined to think
the best thing was to move to the Federal
left.

Az Almo.. nu,nan .renker.

Massica WAS a female chimpanzee, kept
In the Dresden geological gardens. She
was remarkable, not only in her habits,
but in her disposition. AT one mo-
ment she would sit still, with a brood
ing air, occasionally darting nisclicvous
glancs at the spectators; at another, she
took pleasure in feats of strength, or
roaped about in her spacious inclosure,
like an angry beast of prey.
Massica was frequently ungoyernable.
She would obey no one but the director
of the garden. Sometimes when she was
in good bunacr she would sit upon his
knee, and put her muscular arms about
his neck, with a cressing gesture; but,
IN spite of this occasional cletnency. no
was never safe from her roguisll tricks.
She knew how to use n gimlet, wiring
out wet clothes, and put a handkerchief
to its legitimate use. If allowed TO do so,
she would draw off the keepers boots,
scramble with them to sone place out of
reach, and then throw them at his head.
Once she succeeded in opening the lock
of her cage, and, having done so, stole
the key. 1t was kept hanging on the
wall outside, and 4Lassica, Observing It,
took it down, hid it in her armpit, and
crept quietly back TO her cage. When
occasion again served her purpose she
easily opened the lock with her key and
walked out.
She died of consumption. Just before
her death she put her arm about tho
directors neck, looked at him placidly,
kissed him three times, stretched out her
hands to him and died.-Youth's Com
panion.

Shifts are usually employed to help
artists models in difficult positions, and
often display considerable ingenuity.
Zoffany's celebrated figure of the
Academy Life SCHOOL, in ITO shows
how the models uplifted arm was sup
ported by string from the ceiling. as it
would be now; for instance, in Mr..
Birch's Last Call" the falling horse
man is ''hung in chains" suspended
from the rafters in position he could
not otherwise assume. ssThe Headlong
Fall of Lucifer'' has, ere now, been
painted with the model standing in a
suitable attitude on mirror, the neces-
sary appearance of foreshortening being
obtained from the reflection. '.Young
Bacchus' has been kept vivacious and
laughing for hours by an assistant shoot
ing sweetmeats into his open mouth,
while an expression of wondering and
complacent admiration has been planted
on .Galatea's" face by the simple ex-
pedient of placing looking glass for her
to gaze into.-The Argonaut.

The Chameleon,s Colorntion.

But of all the parti colored reptiles the
chameleon is by FAR the best known, and
on the whole the most remarkable for his
Inconsistency of coloration. Like lacer-
tine Vicar of Bray, he varies incontinently
from buff to blue, and from blue back to
orange again, under stress of circunlstan-
ces. The mechanism of this curious
change is extremely complex. Tiny cor
puscles of different pigments are some
times hidden in the depths of the chame-
Icons skin, and sometimes spread out on
its surface in an interIacing network OF
brown or purple. In addition to this
prime coloring matter, however, the ami
NAL also possesses normal yellow pig
ment and blush layer in the akin
which acts like the iridium glass so largely
employed by DIR. Salviati, being seen as
straw colored with a transmitted light,
but assuming faint lilac tint against an
opaque absorbent surface. While sleep
ing the chameleon becomes almost white
in the shade, but if light falls upon him
he slowly darkens by an automatic pro-
cess.-Cornhill Magazine.
